| Abstract: |
Unusual within the Paris city limits where building heights are normally restricted to 28 metres, the new Paris Law court is a 160m high 40 storey complex in the new inner city development zone of Clichy-Batignolles. Architect Renzo Piano Building Workshop has designed an emblematic building with a floor area of 104 000m² divided into three horizontal blocks each ten levels high, separated by planted terraces. Behind the horizontal architecture of the project lies a structural design worthy of being classed as a major civil engineering works. |
